Lara Croft Temple of Osiris Exclusive Statue

The "Lara Croft Temple of Osiris Exclusive Statue" can now be pre-ordered from GamingHeads.com. This 18-inch beauty, which was designed by Kaushik Manna, will become available in December 2016 for the price of $359.99. This statue is limited to 500 pieces world-wide.

Quoted

World-renowned archaeologist Lara Croft set off on an expedition to Egypt to reclaim the lost Staff of Osiris. However, she was not alone in her pursuit, as fellow treasure hunter and rival Carter Bell was also looking for the staff. Determined to claim the prize for himself, Carter hastily drew the Staff from its resting place, unleashing a curse upon himself and Lara. In order to survive, Lara had to work with Carter to avoid the wrath of Set, God of the Underworld, and escape from the Temple with the Staff in-hand.

This dynamic and exciting statue of Lara Croft features her caught in action, leaping from a rock firing her dual-pistols straight ahead. She's wearing her famous turquoise tank-top and cargo shorts, and her hair back in a long ponytail. The remains of an Ancient Egyptian relic are emerging from the sand behind her, and hieroglyphics line the rim of the base. From the base to the top of Lara's head, the statue measures 18 inches tall, and is cast from polystone resin with skillfully hand-crafted details.

In this Exclusive version of the statue, available only at GamingHeads.com, Lara also has the staff of Osiris, which can be attached to her back-pack.

The statue includes deluxe, full-color packaging, a hand numbered base, and a validation card which allows you to purchase the same model number in future releases in the Tomb Raider collection.

The Tomb Raider Suite Kickstarter Campaign

As of now the Kickstarter Campaign for "The Tomb Raider Suite" is under way. Nathan McCree, Composer for Tomb Raiders I to III plans to have his music recorded with a live orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in London. Those who were fortunate enough to attend the live concert in London last December may have an idea what that means. The fantastic works that have given us all the chills when we played those early Tomb Raiders for the first time, like the moment the T-Rex is announced, or when the Venice theme kicks in, just to name two of the most popular, will come to live in a whole new way, more powerful than ever before. But to make this become reality, Nathan needs our - the fans - help. So if you want to support this excellent project, head over to the Kickstarter Campaign now and make your pledge. Depending on the size of your pledge you will get a thank you package, starting at 15 Pounds for a Digital Download Version of the Tomb Raider Suite once it's ready. Those aiming for a physical copy can pick one of the packages starting at 25 Pounds. The largest package available is at 7.500 Pounds and designed for groups of 5 banding together, as they include every item in that amount.

The Tomb Raider Suite Got Funded

The Kickstarter Campaign that was set up to fund the recording of an orchestral version of "The Tomb Raider Suite", an album of the music composed by Nathan McCree for Tomb Raiders I to III, at Abbey Road Studios in London, was a complete success. Starting off nicely with huge support from the community and then dropping mid-campaign to a point where some were afraid we would not reach the goal of 160,000 pounds to get the project funded, it picked up pace again during the last few days and finally hit the mark 30 hours before the deadline. In the end 2,615 backers pledged a total of £194,120. Well done, community.

When Nathan McCree wrote the music for the first three Tomb Raider games between 1996 and 1998, he used his favourite synthesizers available at the time. But for 20 years he dreamt of hearing his music performed by a full orchestra and choir and with the 20th Anniversary of the release of Tomb Raider in 2016, the timing was perfect to realise his dream.

On Sunday 18th December, 2016, The Tomb Raider Suite received its World Premiere, performed live by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and the City of London Choir. Conducted by Robert Ziegler, it received three standing ovations from over 2,000 fans who attended the concert. It was an outstanding finale to the Tomb Raider 20th Anniversary celebration.

Recording is scheduled to begin in August, to bring the album to us around November 2017. Those who have not supported the kickstarter campaign will be able to purchase a different package version of the album.

Another set of events in November will be the Composer Buffet Receptions, held in London and San Francisco, for those who pledged £150 for the "Tomb Raider Suite Ark of the Covenant" package.

Quoted

The Composer Buffet Reception will be held at a major venue in both London and San Francisco. After a welcome reception drink served by Winston himself, you will be able to enjoy a delicious buffet and free refreshments all evening.
There will be music from The Tomb Raider Suite, projections of the games, merchandise, and gameplay competitions on the original Tomb Raider games (Please, no locking Winston in the fridge!).
This is a chance for you and your friends to talk to the people who helped create and shape Lara Croft and meet the famous names in the franchise: Nathan McCree (Composer), Shelley Blond (the first voice of Lara Croft), Meagan Marie (Senior Community Manager: Crystal Dynamics)
There will also be original live Lara Croft models at both locations (subject to availability).
All attendees will receive a special gift bag upon arrival.
